Someone said that using this will make me slower on the take off and it does. Instead of doing the 1/4 mile in 10 secs (I'm just picking a number I don't know for sure) it takes me 11 secs. It has improved my gas mileage enough that it is noticeable on a trip. I can probably drive and extra 30 minutes before needing to gas up. If you want to go faster on the start then this isn't for you but if you want lower rpms in the higher gears and better gas mileage then this works for me.

Excellent, from an engineering standpoint this make perfect sense.
I'm wondering if they were able to lower the cruising RPM's via sprocket changes on the the RT since they upped the compression/engine torque.
